Al Saunders Interviews For Chiefs’ Offensive Coordinator Job
According to Bob Gretz of bobgretz.com, former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Al Saunders interviewed to be the current Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator once again.
Gretz is down at the Super Bowl, as are a number of other current and former NFL folks. Like former Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil.
"And, visiting the Chiefs yesterday to talk about the offensive coordinator’s job was Al Saunders, former offensive coordinator under Dick Vermeil and long-time assistant coach with the franchise. Last season, Saunders was with Oakland as the Raiders offensive coordinator.“Al is there today talking with Romeo,” Vermeil said Wednesday in Indianapolis as he was making the rounds of radio row. “He wants to see if there’s any chance to go back to Oakland, but if not he’d love the Chiefs job.”"
Interesting. I wouldn’t mind having Saunders back. The Chiefs had a terrific offense under Saunders and often times made things work with minimal talent. Surely Vermeil had a lot to do with that, but we would be naive to think that Saunders also wasn’t responsible for the team’s offensive success.
I’d be very happy to see Al back in KC. Almost as happy as I would be to see him not back in Oakland.
